In Search of an Inca examines how people in the Andean region have
invoked the Incas to question and rethink colonialism and
injustice, from the time of the Spanish conquest in the sixteenth
century until the late twentieth century. It stresses the
recurrence of the 'Andean Utopia', that is, the idealization of the
pre-colonial past as an era of harmony, justice, and prosperity and
the foundation for political and social agendas for the future. In
this award-winning work, Alberto Flores Galindo highlights how
different groups imagined the pre-Andean world as a model for a new
society. These included those conquered by the Spanish in the
sixteenth century but also rebels in the colonial and modern era
and a heterogeneous group of intellectuals and dissenters. This
sweeping and accessible history of the Andes over the last five
hundred years offers important reflections on and grounds for
comparison of memory, utopianism, and resistance.
